Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Butter, for topping
- 0.5 cup Cinnamon sugar (mix of ground cinnamon and sugar)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, whole milk, brewed coffee, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a puff comes out clean.
While the puffs bake, melt the butter for the topping in a microwave or small saucepan. In a shallow bowl, prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture by mixing ground cinnamon and sugar until evenly combined.
Once the puffs are done baking, let them cool slightly in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
Brush the tops of each puff lightly with melted butter and immediately dip them into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating thoroughly.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your freshly made French Coffee Puffs!
